Info for Sailin' Shoes (Remastered Deluxe Edition)
Little Feat ist der Inbegriff einer "Kultband". Das 1972 erschienene Album Sailin‘ Shoes, das von Lowell George gegründet wurde, zeigt diese musikalischen Rebellen auf einem ihrer frühen Höhepunkte. Die Songs auf Sailin‘ Shoes sind eine meisterhafte Collage aus einfallsreichen Erzählungen, die vor gegenkultureller Ironie und Romantik nur so strotzen. Mit den Klassikern "Willin‘" (gecovert von Linda Rondstadt und vielen anderen), "Easy to Slip" (ursprünglich für die Doobie Brothers geschrieben) und dem Titeltrack ist es ein Album, dessen Stellenwert ins Unermessliche gewachsen ist und es zu einer der meistbeachteten Veröffentlichungen seiner Ära macht.
Sailin' Shoes wurde 1972 veröffentlicht und war das zweite Studioalbum des Gründungsquartetts bestehend aus Sänger und Gitarrist Lowell George, Schlagzeuger Richard Hayward, Keyboarder Bill Payne und Bassist Roy Estrada. Ted Templeman produzierte das Album, das zum ersten Mal von dem Illustrator Neon Park gezeichnet wurde, der die Cover für fast alle Alben von Little Feat gestaltete.
»Sailin' Shoes« (Deluxe Edition) beginnt mit einer neu gemasterten Version des Originalalbums, auf dem charakteristische Stücke wie »Easy To Slip«, der Titelsong, und eine aktualisierte Version von »Willin'«, einem Song, der 1971 auch auf dem gleichnamigen Debüt der Band erschien, zu hören sind. Mehrere Outtakes aus den Aufnahmesessions des Albums sind erstmals auf der Deluxe Edition zu hören, darunter alternative Versionen von »Cold, Cold, Cold«, »A Apolitical Blues« und »Willin'«. Die Magie, die Little Feat bei Konzerten ausstrahlten, steht im Mittelpunkt des neuen Sets mit einer neu entdeckten und bisher unveröffentlichten kompletten Show, die am 28. August 1971 im Palladium in Los Angeles aufgenommen wurde. Dieses Live-Set ist die einzige Mehrspuraufnahme, die in der Originalbesetzung der Band existiert. Der Auftritt enthält Songs von Sailin' Shoes (»Tripe Face Boogie«, »Teenage Nervous Breakdown«) und Little Feat (»Hamburger Midnight«, »Snakes On Everything«). Das Set enthält außerdem illustrierte Anmerkungen des renommierten Musikjournalisten David Fricke.

Little Feat
The long-running funky Southern boogie act Little Feat have been making slick, genre-defying music since their debut out of Southern California in 1969. Melding rock, blues, R&B, and country, Little Feat drew inspiration from Southern-fried blues rock -- and yet they originated from Los Angeles with songwriter and guitarist Lowell George at the helm.
Naming themselves "Feat" in tribute to the Beatles, Little Feat at first consisted of Lowell George and Bill Payne, who played in Frank Zappa's Mothers Of Invention. They teamed up with former Mothers of Invention bassist Roy Estrada and drummer Richie Hayward (The Factory, Fraternity Of Man). Zappa famously helped Little Feat get signed to Warner Bros. Records, and the band released their self-titled debut album in 1971. A sophomore album, Sailin' Shoes, followed in 1972.
That same year, Little Feat brought in a new bassist, Kenny Gradney. The band also added a second guitarist, Paul Barrere, and drummer Sam Clayton. Adopting a New Orleans funk sound, Little Feat released Dixie Chicken in 1973 and Feats Don't Fail Me Now (a tribute to the Fats Waller song) in 1974.
Little Feat went on to release 1975's jazz-fusion album The Last Record Album and 1977's Time Loves A Hero. In 1978, they released the double-live album Waiting For Columbus, followed by 1979's Down On The Farm. Around this time, George embarked on a short-lived solo career, releasing the album Thanks, I'll Eat It Here. George died of a heart attack in 1979, and Little Feat would disband until 1988 when Payne, Barrere, Hayward, Gradney, and Clayton re-formed the group, adding vocalist/guitarist Craig Fuller and guitarist Fred Tackett.
Back together again, the newly re-formed Little Feat released Let It Roll in 1988 -- the album eventually went gold. Three more reunion albums followed: Representing The Mambo (1989), Shake Me Up (1991), and Ain't Had Enough Fun (1995). Ain't Had Enough Fun featured singer Shaun Murphy, who stayed on for 1998's Under The Radar and 2000's Chinese Work Songs.
Little Feat released a handful of compilations and live recordings over the next few years, including 2002's Ripe Tomatos Volume One, 2006's The Best of Little Feat, and 2011's 40 Feat: The Hot Tomato Anthology 1971-2011. In 2003, Little Feat released Kickin' It At The Barn, their first album for their own indie label, Hot Tomato Records. Rocky Mountain Jam arrived in 2007, and Join The Band followed in 2008 on Proper Records.
In 2010, Little Feat founding member Richie Hayward passed away. Little Feat continued touring with Gabe Ford on percussion. Little Feat released a new album in 2012. In October 2019, a few years after a liver cancer diagnosis, Barrere passed away. He'd written some of the band's best-known songs, including "All That You Dream," "Time Loves a Hero" and "Old Folks Boogie."
Scott Sharrard, who had filled in for Barrere during Little Feat's 50th Anniversary tour, was brought on as a full-time band member.
